Default Best can-paint to match black denim?

I'm about to buy the OEM one piece sissy bar but it only comes in gloss black sa I want to repaint it.
So my question is if anyone here knows a good matching spray paint that will give me the same look as the Black Denim paint?

pretty sure HD makes the demin paint in a spray can. or maybe try some rustoleum truck bed paint its got a slight gloss similar to the demin paint and its bullet proof.

Not sure how close a match is is but Krylon does one called Semi Flat Black............kind of a satin black with a very slight sheen, it flows out nice and is pretty easy to get a good finish, seems reasonable durable. Another good one is PJ1 Satin black engine and case paint - once cured you can spill gas on it and it wont stain.

Spend a few bucks and take it to get painted. The color will match perfectly and the paint job will be 10x better than what you would get out of a spray can. I think you'd be happy you did in the end.

rustoleum general prupose flat. sand it and get yourself some self etching primer before you hit it with the flat.

I used truck bed liner in a can for my horn cover and other bits and pieces. You can really control the wrinkle look by spraying from different distances, and in my opinion, it looks great!

If you want a near exact match and the best durability, buy the spray can from Harley. Its great quality laquer and it really holds up. Or you can pay to have it powder coated.
